This section would focus on the possible benefits of adopting IFRS in the U.S. to investors, public companies, and auditors. Investors, being one of the users of the financial statements, would experience a significant benefit of being able to compare the reports with many companies all over world before making any investment decision. U.S. based multinational public companies would save the cost of modifying the reports according to international standards every year to make the information comparable with their companies all over the world. Only the auditors of the international auditing firms would benefit from the transition because then the auditors have to go through the reports based on only one standard. This section would focus on the possible cons of adopting IFRS in the U.S. faced by the same group of people discussed above.
So they believed that local market would not have need in as much services and complexity as contrary markets. Also they believed that the local markets would give to company much higher margins and other benefits. But by being small company, Logoplaste for faraway locations needed a huge number of senior managers to control new firms at new markets. Unfortunately Logoplaste did not have enough senior managers to enter new markets. And as well, it was very difficult from financial perspective due to financial crisis, when banks were not giving out loans and funds for every single company.
In addition, when CEMEX began expanding abroad, they used PMI teams to streamline a new firm, identify and retain talent, and adopt the key standards of CEMEX's business model.

CEMEX ws also able to reduce their costs by incorporating new technology, which allowed them to maximize knowledge to everyone in the company, and allow operations to flow more smoothly. In addition, concentrating their focus on other countries can help ensure stable revenues, such that if their home country is experiencing a downturn in GDP, they can stabilize their sales in other countries experiencing GDP growth. Further, there has been a reduction on tariffs due to exporting their product.
(Bowersox, 2013) In this case the major business propositions for Woodmere and HomeHelp to consider in evaluating this proposal is the fact that they both can improve the needs of their customers through an improvement of technology using a time-based logistic system, which will help with the replenishment of inventory based on customers demand. Through this advancement they will be better able to service customers and have a better hold on their inventories. The future perspective of annual growth is also available with HomeHelp from an existing 10% to at least 20%.

Branding does not come cheap. Established firms in the industry have the financial power to market their products to the various kinds of consumers whereas potential new entrants may not have this strength to gain a reach to the consumer in terms of branding. An example would be Nike, who advertises its brand through expensive endorsement deals possibly in the view of striving to be the industry leader. These kind of branding poses as high threats to new firms intending make an entry into this industry. 2.2
They acquired local joint ventures and set-up a decentralized sales organization under their Matrix. On one side the National Organization (NOs) in charge of financial, legal and administrative issues and on the other side the Product Development (PDs) related to the development, the production and the distribution.

At the beginning Matsushita was as successful as Philips on its local market (Japan).
The power that Wal-Mart holds with CPG’s is crucial. Wal-Mart is able to dictate to these companies how they should price their goods. It is generally lower than the company would like. However, that company has no strong say in the matter because if they want to have the goods in Wal-Mart stores, they have to comply with Wal-Mart’s rules.

One of the main reasons for Walmart’s lack of success in other countries is in trying to impose American values, cultures and shopping habits in other countries. Take Germany for example, where consumers felt that additional labor used to pack purchases added to the final cost of the product. Also, working hours for the attendants were way beyond what was allowed by the German government for such categories of labor. Walmart’s foray into India has not met with success either. Being a developing economy, local traders fear that a behemoth like Walmart would put them out of business.
